title: AWS Lambda
---

## Prerequisites

The following example requires the `boto3` library.

```shell
pip install openai boto3
```

## Example

The following agent will use AWS Lambda to list all Lambda functions in our AWS account and invoke a specific Lambda function.

```python cookbook/tools/aws_lambda_tools.py

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.aws_lambda import AWSLambdaTools


# Create an Agent with the AWSLambdaTool
agent = Agent(
    tools=[AWSLambdaTools(region_name="us-east-1")],
    name="AWS Lambda Agent",
    )

# Example 1: List all Lambda functions
agent.print_response("List all Lambda functions in our AWS account", markdown=True)

# Example 2: Invoke a specific Lambda function
agent.print_response("Invoke the 'hello-world' Lambda function with an empty payload", markdown=True)
```
